Backtesting first hour of day only

[JayKeepsTrading]

I had a backtesting question.

In the strategy analyzer, I see the place to set date ranges, but I don't see a way to select a time of day. Is there any way to backtest just the first hour of each day selected?

Hello JayKeepsTrading,

Thank you for your note.

This currently is not possible via the Strategy Analyzer UI however I will submit a feature request for it.

The solution would be to include a time filter in your strategy to not trade outside of the desired time period. This would require some coding knowledge.

Below is a link to a sample which demonstrates how to use a time filter.

If you would like assistance in adding this to your strategy please let us know and I can someone reach out with a list of third parties that could write this.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Thanks so much! I went ahead and added the time filter as a condition.
